Well done with disabling the control buttons when its activated, its now much more reliable against accidental touches. the only reason Im giving it 4 stars is because I wish that it kept the screen from going to sleep automatically. I have seen one app that was able to do this but that app is lacking in some good things your app is not lacking in. So if you can manage to add this then i would give it a 5 star rating. I purchased the lifetime premium for it because of how good it is.

Great App! works perfectly. Good update. Love the Lower Brightness option and Swipe Threshold. Both are very needed. I bought this app. Worth EVERY SINGLE CENT! Thank You!

This is one of the best screen-off apps I have used. It is very simple, lightweight, and does exactly what it promises. I really like that it doesn't show a clock or any extra information—it instantly turns the screen completely black. Perfect for listening to YouTube or music while saving battery. No unnecessary features, just a clean and smooth experience. Highly recommended!
